Senator Wright's Speech.

Senator Wright's speech in opposition to
the Brady bill was a strong one. He said
that the farmers did not want it, and he is in
a position to know whether they do or not
He had evidently studied it carefully and
was therefore prepared to discuss it in q
way to command attention and make con-
verts.
He said very truly that the inspection
laws ought to give farmers all the protec-
ton they needed. These laws are intended
to secure to the farmers what they pay for
If the farmers don't get good fertilizers it
is because the inspections are not carefully
made Do the farmers say that they don't
get what they pay fors Then let them insist
that the Agricultural Department shall dis
charge its duties more faithfully.
Senator Wright, who is identified with the
agricultural interests of the State, said that
he thought the guano dealers would rank
well with the farmers for honesty, and that
it was unjust to the honest dealers to sub
which the Brady bill would impose upon
them. He saw no moro reason for the bill
thar for bill to release farmers from pay
ing for whisky, shoes and groceries which
they might think were not what they were
represented to be.
The Senator hit the nail on the head, as it
were, when he said that the legislation
needed by the farmers was not that which
would invite them to dishonor their con-
tracts, but that which would encourage
them to stand by their obligations. The
Senator's constituents do not hear from him
very often, but when they do it is with salts
faction and profit.

Discouraging Cot on Crop Reports.

Discouraging Cot on Crop Reports.
Until within the last day or two the i'm
preston has prevailed that the cotton crop
that is now being harvested would be very
large one. The reports that are being re-
ceived from the different portions of the
cotton belt, however, are causing the esti-
mates to be somewhat modified. In many
counties in this State there will be from a
fourth to third less cotton gathered than
the estimates, made few weeks ago,
called for. Reports from other States
greatly damaged by the weather and
worms, and that further damage may be
expected. Dispatches from New Orleans,
which we publish this morning, state that,
in the vicinity of Vicksburg, there are fields
of cotton in which the loss will be from so
to 60 per cent. of the yield that was ex-
pected few days ago.
There are, Of course, reports every year
of damage to cotton, but as general thing
they show that the injury is confined to
limited areas 1t is too soon yet to form an
intelligent opinion as to the extent of the
injury which the crop has already suffered,
or is likely to suffer 1t may be that the re-
ports are exaggerated, and that as the season
progresses it will be found that the damage
is not nearly SO great as it was thought to
be, or as was apprehended.
1t is frequently said that farmers life is
happy one. There is no doubt that there
are farmers who have few cares, and who
are content with their occupation and sur
roundings, but they are rich. Storms,
floods and destroying insects do not bother
them much, because the failure of crop
does not mean hardships to them The
great majority of farmers, however, have
a very hard time of it. They are oppressed
by debts and are pinched for the means to
carry on their farming operations. The
loss of a crop, or a considerable part of one,
means that strict economy must be prac-
ticed and privations endured. There are
thousands of farmers in this State, who, a
month ago, felt certain that this year would
be very prosperous one for them, but who
now know that when their crops are all
gathered and marketed their financial con-
dition will not be as good as it was when
the year began.

1t Misleads Two Eminent Lawyers in an
Albany Boat.
The following story is told of couple of
Gotham lawyers, well known in Troy, who
went down on the evening trains, one from
the North Woods and the other from the
Berkshire hills, and met on the deck of the
steamer shortly after she had left her dock.
"Hello, Brown" said Black, "glad to sen
you. Got room7"
"Half one," replied Brown. SThe other
half, judging from an overcoat and sachel /
found there, appears to be occupied by some
old hayseed who will probably snore all night
and make life miserable for me-"
"Just my case" returned Black; "only l
should imagine from bis effects that my
room mate is a tramp"
'Such being the state of affairs, suppose
we see If we can get one of the rooms to-
gether and let the farmer and the tramp oc-
cupy the other" said Brown.
"Agreed, assented Black, and they started
down to the purser's Office and stated their
grievance. The purser looked carefully over
his books and then remarked, with assumed
gravity:
Il am sorry for you, gentlemen, but as Mr..
Black appears to be already sharing Mr..
Browns stateroom, and vice versa, will be
unable to do anything for you"
Mutual apologies followed, and when quiet
had been restored Brown accounted for the
seedy appearance of his belongings y ex-
planning that he had driven several miles
that morning through the mud, and Black
laid the blame for his rusty looking bag on
his wife, who had mended a broken strap
with hair pin, and then they went to their
room and sampled a portion of the contents
of both bags.-Troy Times.

Webster as a Sportsman.

The Boston Commonwealth relates what it
says is hitherto unpublished story of Daniel
Webster. One autumn during the prevalence
OF strong northeaSterly storm, Mr.. Webster,
IN company with some two dozen other
sportsmen, went to Brant Rock to shoot
ducks The birds were flying in considerable
numbers, but only few passed over the rock,
and consequently the prospect for fat bags
was rather slim. However, the tide of Mr..
Webster's luck was turned before the day
was over in the following manner: Two ad-
venturous sportsmen We're cruising in a small
boat off the rock, popping away at the birds
IN lively fashion that filled the sportsmen
on the rock with envy. Suddenly flock of
about thirty brant hove in sight near the
boat, and when within range the floating gun
ners banged away into the midst of them,
dropping several. The birds, confused by the
discharge of firearms and the loss of some of
their number, wheeled and made directly for
the rock. AS they passed over every gun was,
of course, discharged, and all but two or
three of the flock fell upon the rock A ques-
tion that at once presented itself, OF course,
was, "Who killed the birds!" Each one of the
twenty-four sportsmen was sure that at least
two or three birds had fallen before his gun,
and as there were only some two dozen birds
in all killed, it did not look as if division of
the spoil could be readily accomplished. Mr.
Webster, however, was equal to the occasion.
Assuming mock judicial air, he addressed
the group of excited gunners: ''My friends
said he, this case is easy of adjudication; I'll
buy the birds and you can divide the money!
And this ruling of the ''court" was accepted.
